Should the bolt that is safety wired, that holds the shift linkage to the shaft from the transmission be tight???

I have quite a bit of play in my shifter (I have the Autothority short shifter as well) and I checked the linkage today and that bolt was a few turns loose! (no safety wire either!).

Should it be tight, or not??

Thanks,

As I recall I made sure it was snug and blue loctite on top of that..........and the airplane wire.

Safety wire. Used in many places aircraft just being one of them.
